ہفتہ 27 مئی 2017 3:00 عبد الستارخان   حضرت سفيا ن بن عيينہؒ نے بدعتی کی سزا پر ایسی بات فرمائی ہے جو آبِ زر سے لکھنے کے قابل ہے۔آپؒ فرماتے ہیں: روئےزمین پر کوئی بدعتی ایسا نہیں بجز اس کے کہ اللہ تعالی اس پر اس کی بدعت کی وجہ سے ذلت ورسوائی مسلط کردیتا ہے۔ یہ بات میں نے کہتا بلکہ اللہ کی کتاب سے ثابت ہے۔  لوگوں نے پوچھا : اللہ کی کتاب میں یہ بات کہاں لکھی ہے؟۔  فرمایا : کیا تم نے اللہ کافرمان…

The use of English shorthand and typewriters expanded towards the end of the 19th century in clerical work in the major cities of the subcontinent. The use of shorthand in Indian languages, however, developed not in the context of office work but to meet the requirements of the new public sphere, particularly the quick notation of public speeches for reporting in newspapers. This led to the invention of new speed scripts, atitvarene lihiṇyāchī paddhatī (very speedy writing) or laghulekhan (shorthand) in Marathi, which relied heavily on Pitman and Munson’s English shorthand. Arguably the first use was in 1874 by RB Gunjikar [...]. Gajananbhau Vaijya, an English shorthand writer and reporter with the Indian Statesman, invented another speed script expressly for the quick notation of speeches [...]. Notably, Indian-language shorthand remained in the sphere of handwriting, as typewriters for non-Latin scripts did not become widespread in the subcontinent until the mid 20th century. [...]
[I]t is actually Bhujangrao Mankar, inventor of a third shorthand script with the book Laghulekhankalā (1897), who announced himself on the title page as the creator of Marathi and Gujarati shorthand. Mankar was a well-known English shorthand reporter for the press and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Bombay for all manner of political meetings in the early 20th century. [...]
---
As Bernard Bate noted, Tamil shorthand came into its own when the colonial government attempted to acquire written transcripts of possibly seditious speeches during the Swadeshi movement.
In Bombay, too, shorthand found widespread application in CID surveillance with the growth in nationalist meetings and activity in the 1920s. Sub-inspectors could learn Marathi shorthand as an optional subject in the Central Police Training School; the usual practice was to pass a test in the office and regularly test for speed.
In the trial of the Ali brothers in Karachi following the Khilafat movement, speeches by Mohamed Ali and Shaukat Ali were entered as evidence of their seditious activity.
Similarly, charges against Communist leaders SA Dange, RS Nimbkar, and others in the Meerut conspiracy case (1929–33) were also based on their public speeches.
The cross-examination of witnesses turned on the accuracy of the transcripts and the methods used to obtain them and provides a rich window into the work of memory, notation, and translation involved in producing a speedy verbatim transcript of a public speech, and the issues of legibility, authenticity, and transparency that linked scribe, script, and language to state surveillance.
---
Police reporters usually translated the shorthand transcripts of speeches in various languages into English longhand as soon as possible. In Karachi the Ali brothers’ Urdu speeches were recorded in Urdu shorthand. In Belgaum in June 1921, however, sub-inspectors of the Pune CID took down their Urdu and English speeches in Marathi shorthand. During a meeting in Bagalkot, also in northern Karnataka, Shaukat Ali’s speech in Urdu was orally translated sentence by sentence into Kannada as he spoke [...]. There was thus much processing of sound, meaning, and sign across languages, scripts, memories, and individuals, all at high speed. [...] The inspector [...] Deshpande mentioned a critical aspect of Pitman-based shorthand writing: since the signs matched specific sounds, he did not pay much attention to the content of the speech; he just noted down the sounds as best he could, even if he didn’t know the meanings of words. Gaps between sounds and meaning, it would appear, were filled in either during transcription through memory recall or by the CID itself. [...] These practices of notation, translation, and judicial discourse grappled with a spectrum of textual reproduction of oral utterances, from gist to verbatim.

Grocery List
Remember to get raw meat—the kind that resembles the palms of your hands before they turn into angry fists; also, get tomatoes, you’ll know it’s good when it’s as red as your face like when you’re about to burst out of frustration; bite your own tongue, nobody believes a girl your age, instead, pick up some cow tongue for tonight’s curry; leave your heart to rest at home, people become greedy and grabby over things that aren’t theirs; grab milk, skip the skim, you’re not here to impress anyone; get this brand of chai masala, the one that impresses a man, but not enough to make him stay; skip the clothing store; find a salwar kameez cut from the same cloth as you and me, it’s cheaper that way; make sure you grab a newspaper on your way back; don’t stay out too late, it gets dangerous; have you heard about the mother who intentionally broke her daughter’s leg to save her? no amma, and please don’t do that to me, I promise I'll come home to you every night, just like I always do, I have nowhere else to go; only buy this particular brand of sugar, it’s sweet enough to satisfy a man’s desires yet respectful enough to safeguard a woman’s integrity; your split ends need attention; get bhringaraja oil, almond oil, and alma oil—specifically Dabur Vatika, not Parachute, that’s what you’ll need to grow hair long enough to keep you warm on cold nights, when there’s nobody to hold you; no need for jasmine perfumes; bottle your sadness into a scent, like the salty oceans out front; pick up some basmati rice; it’s just around the corner from the mishti store—what, you don’t know where it is? no, ma, there’s nothing there, the mishti store hasn’t been around for years; there was one, at least when I was younger; it must have been Pakistan that razed it to the ground; flames would seep from ruptured points and exit wounds on the streets as I made my way home from school; did you know they would sell rasgulla and rajbhog for a couple hundred taka? just like the amount your parents sold you off? Was it love then?; Mamoni, if it’s love that you’re looking for, you won’t find it for sale anywhere, true love only exists in poetry and books; can’t I buy books and read it out loud enough times until it becomes real enough for me to hold it in my hands?; mark off the food mold at the top of the list; it seems like it’s already shaped you into the woman you needed to become; don’t flash anger on me; anger is what a man exhibits when feeling insecure; are you any less than a man? no, amma, but sometimes I feel lesser than the lizards that crawl out inbetween the cracks of our walls at night; it’s not cruel; our ammas make us do this too, turning us into constant wars in our minds with no clear sight of the goal and out of reach; don’t look too deeply into the man with kajal under his eyes, dressed in a black kurti, even if he greets you with his hands down; he’s not the type to pen dramatic shayaris for you during arguments; he’s fluent only in Hindi, can’t even read Sanskrit, while you effortlessly weave poetry in Bengali, Hindi, Arabic, and hold onto the little Urdu you know, only because I raised you that way; he won’t opt for rickshaws or autos when you can easily walk the 8-minute distance to the grocery store; he’ll buy you the saris; he’ll buy you the jhumkas; he’ll even buy you the mendhi but won’t learn how to apply it for you; he won’t treat you to pani puri from the street vendor outside or let you coax the older bhai to add more chili powder to the mysterious liquid that’ll most definitely give you food poisoning; he won’t center your bindi for you; won’t allow you to adjust the collar of his kurti; doesn’t even consider offering you the last samosa; he’s a man raised among girls who were taught that their thoughts speak louder than words, and sometimes, not to speak at all; he won’t let you experience the freedom you have with me; don’t even entertain the idea of leaving me; oh, and one last thing, don’t forget to wear that dupatta; you always forget; sometimes, I think you do it deliberately to upset me

I have some questions for Anika from the emoji asks ! 🍓🌹📖
TAHAAAA helloooo <333 i'm so happy that you landed on my ask box :') and yes, please ask away!!! :D
anika’s birthday special (closed, slow replies) | oc emoji asks
🍓 STRAWBERRY - do they eat their fruit & veg? what is their favourite fruit or vegetable?
Growing up, Anika was picky about the fruits and veggies she’d eat, either they weren’t prepared well or at that time, they got her sick so she was nervous of having them again, but she can now eat pretty much every vegetable except for bitter gourd. That shit’s nasty. And raw tomatoes.
Favorite fruit(s): Mango, specially Alphonso Mango, Coconut, and Strawberry
Favorite Vegetable(s) (other than potato): Carrots, Beans, Cauliflower and Spinach
🌹 ROSE - do they like valentines day? have they been confessed to before? have they confessed to anyone before?
As commitment-phobic as she is, Anika is always a fan of Valentine's Day.. she loves seeing couples being in love with each other and spending time. She was confessed to before by her previous Indian boyfriends during Valentine's Day (one when she was in middle school and one after Kakyoin during her PhD), but both of them were douchebags to her. With Kakyoin, the confession was mutual. However, the only person she's ever confessed to, was Jotaro.
📖 OPEN BOOK - do they like reading? what's their favourite genre?
Anika loves to read. It was how she was able to cope with her apraxia and her inability to speak for a while. TLDR: Anika had apraxia of speech and this made her unable to speak well until she was 6, so was a victim of bullying. She could even read the old newspapers that were being used for selling food on the street.
Her hunger and thirst for knowledge grew while she read different encyclopedias, some of them involving space. She’s a big fan of Shakespearean works, The Merchant of Venice being close to her heart. She even would read anthologies of English, Hindi and Urdu poems from writers like William Wordsworth, Rudyard Kipling, Premchand, Ghalib, and so on.
She’s a big fan of the Hunger Games book series when it was released in 2008 as she could relate to Katniss Everdeen. She likes the Harry Potter series too, but not as much as Karan who’s a big time Potterhead. She loves the works of Agatha Christie, Jeffrey Archer and Sidney Sheldon, and when she does start reading manga, she starts with InuYasha and Pink Dark Boy which is how Rohan and Anika befriend. 💖

[Image description for original post and reblog by @chapmangamo: A comedic infographic of illustrated idioms titled, "Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire Around the World" by James Chapman from soundimals.com
The format is as follows: two side by side illustrations of the first and second half of the idiom, respectively, followed by the idiom below it and its language of origin in parentheses on a separate line. The art style is simple and whimsical, almost like a doodle. For clarity, the idioms will be placed first in the transcription, then the image descriptions
"Out of the frying pan, and into the fire" (English)
A grey fish flies from a sizzling frying pan, leaving behind its compatriot, gleefully yelling, "So long suckers!"
The same fish is squarely centered in a bright orange flame on a wooden surface, remarking, "Oh this is much worse."
"Escape a tiger, meet a crocodile" (Thai)
An orange tiger with thin stripes, round ears, and a square snout with a mischievous expression and its mouth open.
A crocodile waving and saying, "Nice to meet you!"
"Out of the rain and into the gutter" (German)
A screaming raindrop surrounded by faceless raindrops as it falls from the sky.
A puddle pooled along a sidewalk in the street, ripples dappling its surface as it continues to rain. "Nuts," it frowns.
"Ran from a wolf, but into a bear" (Russian)
Grey wolf with a white tuft of fur on its head and tip of its tail, as well as a white patch on its chest. It wears a mischievous expression.
Bear with a red gingham napkin tied around its neck, holding a knife and fork in each paw.
"From the thickets to the thornbushes" (Gaelic)
An "Ugh" speech bubble over a dense thicket of vines and bushes.
An "Ow" speech bubble over tangling cluster of briars.
"Ran from Scylla, into Charybdis" (Latin, French)
Red, five headed, long necked sea creature with smiles on its faces.
Whirlpool in the ocean.
"Escape a watermelon rind to meet a coconut shell" (Vietnamese)
Watermelon with a neutral expression, raising one hand up in greeting.
Two coconut shells, one with a face on it saying, "Hey buddy!" as it waves.
Bonus
"Run away from the devil and bump into his dad" (Romanian)
A man in a white zigzag sweater, glasses, and black pants runs from a flaming red devil with small horns and a goatee.
Same man bumps into a bespectacled, elderly devil with a mustache and sideburns wearing a yellow sweater vest over a white collared shirt. He genially greets the man with his free hand, the other holding a newspaper obscured by flame.

Daily Horoscope in Urdu 
In the realm of astrology, horoscopes offer a fascinating glimpse into the future based on celestial movements. This comprehensive guide delves into daily horoscopes in Urdu, exploring their creation, significance, and how they differ from other forms of divination. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, this article aims to provide an in-depth understanding of what daily horoscopes entail and their relevance in today’s world.
Introduction to Daily Horoscopes in Urdu
Daily horoscopes in Urdu are forecasts that offer insights into various aspects of life based on the positions of celestial bodies at the time of one’s birth. These predictions encompass areas such as love, career, and health, and are intended to provide guidance for the day ahead.
The Role of Astrology
Astrology is the study of celestial bodies' positions and their influence on human affairs. Each person’s horoscope is a map of the positions of the stars and planets at the time of their birth. This map, or chart, is used to make predictions about the individual's future.
Horoscopes are not a new concept. They have been part of human culture for thousands of years, with roots in ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece. Over time, astrology has evolved, and different cultures have developed their own methods and interpretations.
How Daily Horoscopes are Created
Daily horoscopes are crafted by astrologers who analyze the positions of celestial bodies and their aspects. The process involves several steps:
Astrological Chart Preparation: Astrologers prepare a natal chart based on the date, time, and place of birth. This chart provides a snapshot of the positions of the planets and stars at that specific moment.
Transit Analysis: Astrologers study the current positions of planets (transits) and their aspects in relation to the natal chart. These transits are believed to influence various aspects of life, providing the basis for daily predictions.
Interpretation: Using astrological techniques and their understanding of planetary influences, astrologers interpret how these celestial movements might affect individuals' lives on a given day.
Publication: The final predictions are then published in various formats, including newspapers, magazines, and online platforms.
The Importance of Horoscopes
Horoscopes offer a daily dose of insight into how the cosmic energies might influence one's day. They can serve various purposes:
Guidance and Reflection: Horoscopes provide guidance on potential challenges and opportunities. They encourage self-reflection and help individuals navigate their daily lives with greater awareness.
Entertainment: Many people read horoscopes for fun, treating them as a light-hearted way to engage with astrology.
Personal Growth: For some, horoscopes are a tool for personal growth and self-improvement, helping them to better understand themselves and their relationships with others.
Daily Horoscope in Urdu: How to Read It
To read a daily horoscope in Urdu, follow these steps:
Identify Your Zodiac Sign: Your zodiac sign is determined by the position of the sun at the time of your birth. There are twelve zodiac signs, each associated with specific dates and characteristics.
Find Your Horoscope: Look for the daily horoscope for your zodiac sign. These are available in newspapers, magazines, and online platforms that publish horoscopes in Urdu.
Read and Reflect: Review the predictions for your sign. Reflect on how they might relate to your current situation or future plans.
Consider the Broader Context: Remember that horoscopes are general and might not apply to everyone. Use them as a tool for reflection rather than a definitive guide.
Can Daily Horoscopes Be Trusted?
The accuracy of daily horoscopes is a subject of debate. While some people find them insightful and helpful, others view them with skepticism. It’s essential to approach horoscopes with an open mind and understand their limitations:
Predictive Nature: Horoscopes offer predictions based on celestial positions but do not account for personal experiences and choices.
Lack of Scientific Validation: Astrology is not a science and lacks empirical evidence. Therefore, horoscopes should not replace professional advice or decision-making.
Personal Interpretation: The effectiveness of a horoscope can vary from person to person. It is up to the individual to interpret how, or if, the predictions resonate with their lives.
Alternatives to Daily Horoscopes
For those who seek alternative forms of divination, several methods exist:
Tarot Reading: Tarot cards offer insights into a person’s life through symbolic imagery and intuitive interpretation.
Numerology: This method analyzes the significance of numbers associated with an individual’s life to offer predictions and guidance.
Psychic Readings: Psychics use various techniques to offer insights and predictions about an individual's future.
Astrology Software: Modern technology provides advanced astrology software that can generate detailed charts and predictions based on precise astronomical data.
The Future of Daily Horoscopes
With advancements in technology, the future of daily horoscopes is likely to involve more sophisticated tools and methods. Astrology software and online platforms are becoming increasingly accessible, allowing individuals to explore their horoscopes in greater detail.
In conclusion, daily horoscopes in Urdu provide a window into the cosmic influences that might affect one's life. While they offer valuable insights and entertainment, it's crucial to approach them with a balanced perspective and use them as one of many tools for personal reflection and guidance.
Conclusion
Daily horoscopes are a popular and intriguing aspect of astrology that offer glimpses into potential future influences. By understanding how they are created and interpreted, readers can better appreciate their role in personal guidance and entertainment. Whether one views horoscopes as a tool for self-discovery or simply as a daily ritual, they remain a significant part of the cultural landscape.
